Dr. Anthony Fauci was asked by MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell if our society is becoming "anti-science" on the Tuesday edition of her MSNBC program. "And with the rise of disinformation and misinformation, are we developing an anti-science in society?" Mitchell asked. "The answer is yes," Fauci responded. "The short answer to your question, Andrea. But the other thing is that there is so much misinformation that we were experiencing the normalization of untruths. Where there is so much disinformation that spreads predominately through social media that people just get so used to the untruths that it becomes normalized which is really bad because then you don't push back against it. You say, well, that's just the way it is. That would be a terrible blow to society. And I believe to our democracy if all of a sudden people say, well, what's the use? There's so much untruth out there we might as well not even push back on it. It's hopeless. We've got to not accept the normalization of untruths."
